Turlough Ó Cinnéide founded Dolmen Films in 2016. Turlough was born in Clare, Ireland, near a small village by the name of Scariff. At the age of 16 he went to sea working on the Tall Ships. It was there that he first got his taste for filming. Turlough is an award-winning Director, his short documentary, "Born From Fire", winning 5 awards, 5 nominations, and 4 honorable mentions in international film festivals. He is the driving force behind Dolmen Films.
For eons, with her dark granite cliffs, rain sodden boglands, and misty damp forests, Ireland has given birth to legends and tails of horrific and terrifying beasts, dark figures, and vengeful demons. This story, The Cathedral, is based loosely on one of these tails. Long ago in the 14th century there was a monk who gave into temptation and for this temptation he relinquished his soul to Beelzebub, the Devil. Bound to the church he once worshipped at, he had to reappear every 100 years to steal a soul, until in 1884 a local priest banished him. They say that before he was exorcised, a single tear fell from the demon, leaving a mark on the church floor which can been seen to this day. The Cathedral recreates the tension of this spiritual battle in contemporary times.
